Certification
Halal certification
Halal certification of food, ingredients and related products, combining technical auditing with Shariah review.
Halal certification confirms that products and the processes that make them meet Halal requirements: permissible ingredients, slaughter and processing where relevant, prevention of cross-contact, cleaning, storage, transport and traceability.
In Pakistan, Halal certification operates within a framework that includes the Pakistan Halal Authority (established under the Pakistan Halal Authority Act, 2016), Pakistani Halal standards developed through PSQCA, and accreditation of Halal certification bodies by PNAC. Export markets may set additional requirements.
